Poem: Reflections in a Venetian Dusk

Upon the gondola's gentle sway, A woman glides through canals' embrace. Beneath the sky of soft decay, Her image stirs the water's face. The oarsman moves with practiced grace, His rhythm echoes ancient tales, Through waterways of time and place, Where history's whisper never pales. Above, the terracotta crowns Of Venice's storied silhouettes, Their mirrored glory twines and frowns, In rippling dance of light's duets. The sun descends with quiet glow, Its golden fingers paint the scene, A canvas where reflections flow, In hues of blue and tangerine. She gazes deep, her thoughts unfurled, In tranquil waters, dreams unfold, Where Venice cradles her own world, Of love and stories yet untold. In silence, drifting ever slow, Beneath the archways of the night, As shadows weave their tender show, In Venice's embrace, delight.
